New research confirms what advocates and providers have long warned: abortion restrictions harm patient health far beyond abortion care. Read more: news.ohsu.edu/2026/01/09/s...

BREAKING: The US government is expected to expand the global gag rule later today, blocking funding for organisations that promote diversity, equity and inclusion #DEI and #LGBTQ+ rights – in addition to #abortion.

It could affect $30bn in foreign aid.

Unconscionable.
Trump's admin is expected to announce an unprecedented expansion of the Global Gag Rule, which blocks foreign orgs that receive U.S. funds from providing or referring abortion care in their countries—even if it's lawful & supported entirely with non-U.S. funds.

Medication abortion is a crucial lifeline for millions navigating the hostile post-Roe abortion landscape. Limiting mifepristone access endangers IPV survivors by keeping them bound to abusers through pregnancy and forced parenthood. @medpagetoday.com bit.ly/4bak8e9 @darakass.com @spsaki.bsky.social

The Trump administration’s latest policy restricting foreign aid builds on harmful actions that deny almost 50 million women & girls contraceptive care each year & undermine years of bipartisan investment in global health & gender equality.

For those who watched the US Senate HELP hearing today, the attacks on settled science & decades of data made one thing clear: the evidence that mife is safe & effective is irrefutable. Anti-abortion extremists can't compete with the robust research disproving their claims.

Another big day medication abortion policy: the Senate’s health panel is set to dive into the debate over the safety of mifepristone (spoiler: it is extremely safe!)

But because I simply *cannot* help myself, some quick facts...

❌ Don’t be fooled: Expect anti-abortion politicians at the hearing to stoke fear about women being forced to take mife against their will and cite these rare instances as a reason to ban it. But banning abortion pills won’t protect women or prevent coercion.

Here are the facts:

✅ Abortion pills have been FDA-approved for over 25 years and are backed by decades of scientific evidence

✅Medication abortion accounts for nearly two-thirds of all abortion care nationwide.

✅ 3 in 5 Americans support access to medication abortion

The case before the Supreme Court this morning is about far more than just sports.

"It has the potential to produce sweeping consequences—either aiding or devastating trans people’s ability to fight back in court when state laws and school rules discriminate against them."
Supreme Court battle over trans athletes is about so much more than sports
"It's just one part of a plan to push transgender people like me out of the public life entirely."
